Caso Wins Rookie of the Week

September 9, 2021

After a standout performance in his first collegiate race, freshman Colin Caso was named Rookie of the Week by the Northeast Conference on Thursday.

Caso helped the men's team win the 6K at the Marist Invitational last weekend with a sixth-place finish (19:09.1).

Senior Eddie Nicholas, junior Yankarlos Diaz, sophomore Jacob Ireland and freshman James Sullivan were also selected as Prime Performers by the NEC.

The rest of the pack followed suit, with CCSU finishing 6-7-8 at Marist (Nicholas paced CCSU with a fourth place finish).

Before CCSU, Caso built an impressive resume at Uxbridge High School. The Massachusetts native holds his school's record in the 5K as well as the indoor and outdoor two mile.

Caso and the rest of the cross country team will be back in action on September 25 for the annual Ted Owen Invitational.
